Pest Control Ossett

Pest Control in Ossett

Ossett is a town between Wakefield and Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, with roots in the wool and shoddy trade and a housing mix that reflects its industrial past. The terraced streets around the town centre and along the roads towards Gawthorpe, Healey and Earlsheaton are where we see the most pest activity. Mice are the most common call. Stone and brick terraces share party walls and loft spaces and mice move through them from one property to the next. The tight construction of these rows means that treating a single house without considering the neighbours rarely gives a lasting result. We approach mouse control in Ossett by looking at the whole picture, finding where the mice are entering the row and where they are travelling within it.

Rats are present too, especially in the lower-lying parts of town near the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation. The waterways provide habitat and travel routes and rats surface through the drainage systems that connect to the surrounding streets. The older parts of the town centre have commercial buildings with cellars and service areas that attract rats and the takeaways and food businesses along the main roads add to the available food supply. We carry out rat control across Ossett and the wider Wakefield area year-round.

Wasps keep us busy every summer in Ossett, nesting in loft spaces, wall cavities, garden sheds and in the ground around the parks and allotments. We handle wasp removal and can usually treat a nest the same day. Fleas are another regular issue, often in homes with cats or dogs but sometimes cropping up in rental properties between tenancies. A professional flea treatment covers the whole home and targets every stage of the flea life cycle to make sure the problem is properly cleared.
